The Supreme Court, urged on by well-funded far-right ideologues like Stephen Miller, is set to curtail important provisions of the Voting Rights Act, opening the door to aggressive, racially based disenfranchisement.

    The U.S. empire is falling and I feel the entire world no longer gives a fuck

    I think, like me, most thinking people in Europe do give a fuck about the ordinary Americans who have had no responsibility for all of this. But your government has made it clear to us that it’s not an ally and has basically said “fuck you” to us.

    Not much to do now.

      The problem though, is that ordinary Americans that “had no responsibility for all of this” could have avoided this BY FUCKING VOTING WHEN IT MATTERED.

      Now it’s too late and the entire world is suffering from the Cheeto, so please do forgive me for not shedding any tears for them.

          @CharlesDarwin @phoenixz same. But it will take a lot of Americans to turn it round, and until/unless that happens the rest of the world has to work out a backup plan, brace, and leave them to sort it out.

        Are you under the impression that they all either voted for Trump or didn’t vote?

        Are you saying that those who voted against Trump are still responsible for it?

        Are you blaming the victims?

          Are you unable to read?

          ARE YOU BLAMING THE VICTIMS???

          I was, of course, talking about those that didn’t vote, or voted independent so they could virtue signal brag about how they didn’t vote for the Palestine hating Biden, that is, until Trump won
